Malen’s hot strike rate

Donyell Malen has scored 10 Serie A goals in 12 matches for Roma, putting him level in third place in the league scoring chart. (footystats.org) The Dutch forward joined Roma on January 16, 2026, after leaving Aston Villa in a deal Roma described as a loan with an option to buy. Aston Villa said the move was for an undisclosed fee. (asroma.com) His scoring pace has been immediate: Roma’s own announcement said Malen arrived with 104 club goals in 294 appearances across PSV Eindhoven, Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa, and he opened his Serie A account two days later against Torino. (asroma.com) (football-italia.net) League data outlets now list him among the division’s most productive finishers, with FootyStats showing 10 goals in 12 Serie A appearances and FotMob listing the same total in 893 minutes. That works out to roughly one league goal every 89 minutes. (footystats.org) (fotmob.com) Serie A recognized that burst on March 5, when Lega Serie A named Malen its Player of the Month for February. The league said the award covered a month in which he outpolled a shortlist that included Domenico Berardi, Andrea Carnesecchi, Federico Dimarco, Moise Kean and Weston McKennie. (legaseriea.it) Roma added Malen in midseason after a crowded attack limited his league minutes at Aston Villa. ESPN reported that he had made only five league appearances for Villa before the January move, despite scoring four Premier League goals this season. (espn.com) The scoring table around him is still moving. Transfermarkt’s 2025-26 Serie A scorers page lists Lautaro Martínez at the top, while Malen sits in the group just behind the leaders on 10 goals. (transfermarkt.com) For Roma, the point is simple: a January arrival has become one of Serie A’s most efficient scorers by April, and nearly every week is adding to the total. (footystats.org)
